WE BELIEVE THERE IS GREATNESS IN EVERY CHILD

Help kids find connection with others and with themselves

INK ignites the stories of the future generation by empowering today’s youth to create original artistic material while supporting their emotional development and internal growth. 

1 - 2 - 3 YOU’RE IT.

01

ORIGINAL CONTENT

All content will be created and inspired by the kids. Our desire is to not only increase confidence in performance, but also ignite curiosity, courage and empathy as they discover their infinite value in the world.

02

SAFE SPACE

Our non-judgemental and free environment results in increased vulnerability and transparency designed to release unlimited creative potential and creates an environment where each child learns to value others in addition to his or herself. 

03

PROCESS OVER PRODUCT

Programs will emphasize personal development over polished performances and perfect technique, and crafted with the interest of creating wholesome and well-rounded adults over immaculate performers.
